Chapter 166: Destroy Li Tang and unify Great Wu

The Battle of Longmen came to an end after a day and a night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this battle involving the three great grandmasters and the "white way" boss to exterminate the apostates, the three great grandmasters have all fallen:

Bi Xuan was chopped off by Emperor Wu Li Qin with an axe;

Ning Daoqi was confused in Li Qin's series of methods, and was finally beaten by Shi Zhixuan in the battle, and was seriously injured and died;

Fu Cailin, on the other hand, was killed by Song Que after learning the news that a Goryeo had been breached.

It turned out that when Fu Cailin went south, Li Qin also sent sailors to the north.

At this time, the naval division of Nanwu had changed from broadside artillery battleships to steam-assisted iron-ribbed wood-hulled battleships.

The troops of the expedition to Goryeo, with the assistance of six iron-ribbed wood-hulled warships and 180 seagoing ships, landed at Inchon with 50,000 pure firearms, and then attacked Seoul in the east and Pyongyang in the north, destroying the Goryeo royal family at the top of Changbai Mountain, capturing Fu Cailin's three disciples, Fu Junchang, and returning to Luoyang in the south.

Fu Junchang was escorted to Luoyang the day before the duel, and Li Qin hid her in the camp of Longmen, and only pressed her up after he had killed Ning Daoqi. Her appearance and the news she said made Fu Cailin confused.

For the sake of Goryeo, this was one of Fu Cailin's lifelong obsessions, and this obsession was destroyed by Li Qin, which really made Fu Cailin unacceptable. Fu Cailin was in turmoil, and his mind was in turmoil, which was taken advantage of by Song Que and killed by Song Que's knife.

Originally, Song Que would not have taken advantage of the danger of others like this, but Fu Cailin was a foreign race, and he came with a mission to bring chaos to the Central Plains, and his existence was a threat to Song Que.

In order to get rid of this threat, Song Que also did whatever it takes. He regarded Fu Cailin as an enemy that had to be killed, and naturally he would take advantage of his unpreparedness to directly destroy him. There is no doubt about it.

In short, in the Battle of Longmen, with the defeat of the "old" three great masters, Li Qin, Song Que, and Shi Zhixuan were considered by the people of the world to be the new three great masters.

Although only Song Que was the real Great Grandmaster among the three of them, the abilities shown by Li Qin and Shi Zhixuan were not far from the Great Grandmaster, and everyone thought that they would inevitably advance to the realm of the Great Grandmaster.

It's not surprising that this is a matter of time.

As for the moment, the impact of the Battle of Longmen on the world is that with the defeat of Ning Daoqi and Cihang Jingzhai, the number of masters in Li Tang's hands is already much inferior to Li Qin's side.

With the opening of the Battle of Longmen, the pace of Southern Wu's domination of the world is also accelerating.

In fact, just two days before the Battle of Longmen, Li Jing, who had been guarding Wuguan without any movement, had already led his army to the northwest. With powerful firearms and good training, Li Jing went down to Shangluo County in a battle, and his troops reached the Lantian camp.

Lantian was already very close to Chang'an, and there was a trace of Wu Jun there, which naturally shocked Li Tang. At Li Jiancheng's suggestion, Li Yuan repeatedly issued gold medals to persuade Li Shimin, who was in the eastward expedition to Hongnong, to return to Chang'an.

Li Shimin was reluctant to do this, but at the urging of his father and brother, he still retreated west overnight. But he didn't want Li Jing and Li Qin to calculate this earlier, and then set up an ambush in Zheng County to destroy Li Shimin's 50,000 Tang army. Li Shimin only led 3,000 guards to cross the Weishui River to the north and fled to Fengyi County, and gave Tongguan, Huayin and other places south of the Weihe River to Li Qin.

It's just that the results of the Battle of Longmen have spread all over the world, and Li Qin's great victory has made everyone in the world understand that the final destiny of heaven will inevitably belong to Li Qin.

Therefore, after the defeat of Zheng County, as Li Qin himself led his troops westward, Tongguan, Huayin and other places surrendered one after another. The surrender of these dangerous cards caused Li Qin's soldiers, horses, materials and energy to be continuously transported to Lantian.

Li Qin, on the other hand, methodically relied on Lantian to build a strong momentum against Chang'an. Unlike Li Jing, who likes to use strange strategies, Li Qin's use of troops tends to be stable, he did not directly attack Chang'an, but first captured Shiping in the west of Chang'an, Jingyang and Gaoling counties in the north of Chang'an, so as to cut off the connection between Chang'an and the outside world, and began to bombard Chang'an City.

At the same time as launching the artillery bombardment, Li Qin went south from Chang'an, opened up the line of Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Bashu, and completely completed the layout of the general trend of the entire Guanzhong. The completion of the layout gave Li Qin a greater advantage over Chang'an in Guanzhong, and such an advantage was further converted into combat power, which naturally made Li Yuan more and more uncomfortable.

After three months of siege, that is, on the sixth day of the seventh month of the third year of the Great Wu Xingtong, Li Yuan, the emperor of Li Tang, finally could not hold on and surrendered to Li Qin. Li Qin named Li Yuan as the Duke of Jingguo, and moved all the Li clansmen to Lingnan for resettlement.

Later, on July 16, after initially settling the situation in Chang'an, Li Qin led his troops north and took Feng Yi County, which was guarded by Li Shimin, in one fell swoop.

In fact, Li Shimin still wanted to resist stubbornly, but he was tied up by his subordinates and sent to Li Qin - Li Qin took Chang'an, and the family members of Li Shimin's relatives were in Chang'an, and Li Qin asked them to write letters to their relatives, which broke the morale of Feng Yi's defenders in one fell swoop. Li Shimin's personal guards didn't want to fight anymore, and after Li Shimin showed his determination to resist to the end, these people decided to launch a military attack and take Li Er in one fell swoop.

Li Er immediately went down, and Li Tang was completely destroyed.

Li Qin, who destroyed Li Tang, did not give up, and ordered Li Jing to lead the most elite 50,000 elites under his command to march north at the speed of a rapid march, and directly enter Shuofang County, Yulin County and Wuyuan County.

Li Qin's movements can be described as sharp and swift, and he immediately cut off the return journey of the southbound Turkic army home. At this time, the Turkic soldiers who went south had all attacked Wei County, and they were stopped by Dou Jiande under Yecheng with firearms and fortified cities.

Although it failed to achieve the effect of drinking the Yellow River, it also made Dou Jiande exhausted. Dou Jiande was very uncomfortable, after hearing the news of the battle of Longmen, Dou Jiande guessed Li Qin's battle strategy, in the face of the increasingly crazy Turkic army, Dou Jiande secretly agreed with Li Qin to surrender plan, decided to use Wei County as a magnet to attract the Turks here, and then outflank the Turks' back road.

Li Qin's move to attack Shuofang, Yulin, and Wuyuan in the north to kill the Liang Dushi was undoubtedly part of the whole plan, and the other part was that after persuading Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, Li Qin transported 50,000 elites with the navy led by Kou Zhong to land in Tianjin, and went to Zhuo County in the west, and even broke Shanggu, Boling, Hengshan and other counties to completely block the Turks' way back to the grassland in the north.

All this was done before the 13th day of August in the third year of Xingtong. The Turks who went south first received the news that Shuofang and other places were being attacked by Southern Wu, and just as they were surprised by this, the news that Li Qin had taken Shanggu, Boling, Hengshan and other places reached their ears once.

The trend of closing the door and beating the dogs has been achieved, and the Turks are becoming more and more panicked all day long.

The sky is getting colder and colder, and although the Turks have eaten in Hebei through tyrannical plunder, and have obtained certain resources, the invasion of the whole Hebei for two consecutive years has also caused the whole Hebei to be unremarkable. As the days passed, the 300,000 troops heading south became more and more panicked, they didn't want to stay in Hebei anymore, they wanted to go home.

However, the way home was blocked by Li Qin, and if they wanted to go back, they had to fight back one by one.

The future is worrying, but the Turks have no choice.

With a large number of troops and a desperate offensive, as well as various means to drive the Han captives to frantically attack the city, the Turkic army took Wu'an County at the cost of 50,000 men.

Looking at the route of their movements, they obviously wanted to go from Wu'an to Xiangguo, and then return north from Xiangguo, Zhaojun, and Hengshan to enter the grassland. This was the nearest route, and it was along this route that they went south to attack Wei County. Now that they have returned, they can be regarded as familiar with the car.

However, when they arrived, they were met with Dou Jiande's Xia army, and when they returned, they were met by Li Qin's Wu army.

When the Turks conquered Wu'an, Li Qin's army also entered Xiangguo. Li Qin arranged a tight defensive position in Xiangguo, and more than a dozen barbed wire fences were repeatedly entangled, and the continuous extension of tortuous trenches surrounded the entire Xiangguo.

The Turks returned north, where they were confronted by Li Chin's troops. In the face of Li Qin's powerful firepower and meticulous arrangement, the Turkic army made a surprise attack, leaving nearly 10,000 corpses on the field, and barely destroyed the barbed wire in front and filled a trench. This is nothing at all for Li Qin's side.

"The defense in front is tight! This battle is not easy to fight! "In charge of the Turkic army is Jieli, the current Great Khan of the Turks. As for the Churo Khan who preceded him, he had already fallen ill and died in the seventh month. This time, Luo Khan's health has not been very good, which is recognized by the Turks from top to bottom. Originally, they just wanted to wait for Wuzun Bi Xuan to win in the south and then quickly return to the grassland to deal with related matters, but they didn't want the battle situation in the south to be unexpected, Bi Xuan actually died.

Bi Xuan's death caused chaos in the entire Turkic army of the Southern Expedition, and this confusion became even more crazy and chaotic with the death of Chuluo Khan, the army was outside, separated from the tribe, and all kinds of intrigues and tricks also had a good room to play. Just as everyone in the Central Plains wanted to be emperor, the tribal leaders of the Turks also had the idea of seizing the throne of the Khan.

For a time, the army of the Turkic southern expedition came to a standstill.

If Dou Jiande had strength, he would have been able to take this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Turkic army, but in the continuous attacks, Dou Jiande's strength had weakened to a low point. If it weren't for Li Qin's navy to supply him with the Yecheng Zhanghe River, I am afraid that he would not be able to support it for a long time.

The collusion between Li Tang and the Turks was not just superficial, in order to better combat Dou Jiande, Li Tang even provided the Turks with forty homemade artillery. Although these cannons were not as powerful as the ones supplied to Dou Jiande by Li Qin, they were already able to pose a certain threat to Yecheng.

It was precisely because of the existence of these artillery, coupled with the strength of the Turkic army, that it was difficult for Dou Jiande to defend. In this process of near-despair, many people betrayed him, and many more persevered.

Later, Dou Jiande got the news from the south and understood that Li Qin's general situation had been achieved, so he found Li Qin, told him about his intention to take refuge, and received more support from Li Qin.

The two sides secretly joined forces as one, and finally joined forces to complete the corresponding layout. The Turks died in Xiangguo.

Xiangguo was out of luck, and a day of fighting made the Turks know the horror of the Wu army.

This is already the case in Xiangguo, and the same is true in the north of Xiangguo. There are hills large and small, and the Turks, who are all cavalry, don't dare to play there.

There was no way, the Turks had no choice but to turn to the giant deer. However, such a diversion was even slower, coupled with the fact that Li Qin's other troops were reduced to zero, and the continuous attacks along the road allowed the Turks to walk for six hundred miles before they could reach it. Six days and four hundred miles may be considered fast for the infantry, but it is as slow as a snail for the cavalry.

And such a slow march made Li Qin's movement more relaxed. When the Turks arrived in Julu, Li Qin's arrangement was also completed in Julu.

The 30,000 Wu army set up a defensive line on the front, blocking the Turkic return route. Because the trenches were dug tightly, the Turks did not know how many soldiers and horses Li Qin had placed on the front, but they vaguely felt that Li Qin did not have many troops placed here.

Since there were not many troops, the Turks thought that there was still hope for them.

However, the 200 hand-cranked Grimm machine guns and 30 prototype Makqin bullet storms and 100 Tiger Squat cannons, 80 flying thunder cannons, and 200 long guns appeared on the defensive line, so that these Turks completely understood that the war was not the same as before.

In the new war, the number of people is important, but more important than the number of people is the firepower. The number of people is equal to firepower, and the lack of strong firepower is equal to the lack of strong troops.

The Turkic elite such as Jieli Khan finally understood. But, it's too late.

On the first day of the assault, 30,000 Wu troops used murderous firearms to kill 60,000 Turkic troops.

The Turks retreated in horror, and Jieli could not think about it, so he could only retreat ten miles with the tide.

Finally encamped, the Turks were already panicked and completely overwhelmed by fear. They defended themselves to the death, and used all they could to build what they thought was a strong camp south of the giant deer.

But, it didn't work.

Just when they were in a panic, Li Qin's 60,000 troops and Dou Jiande's 200,000 troops surrounded them.

The Han Chinese army came from all directions, dominated the hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers who had lost their spirits, and launched a final attack on them three days later without any persuasion.

The rumbling of artillery fire and the sound of machine-gun fire like strips of cloth tearing through the city completely tore open the Turks' self-proclaimed fortification. The Turks bombarded the camp, and they flew in all directions, like frightened birds, and they could not distinguish anything at all.

Faced with such a situation, Li Qin kept his men from escaping while keeping his men from escaping, while preventing the elite troops from interspersing and dividing the Turkic army.

A day after the battle began, the hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers had been divided into four clusters.

And after two days, these people were divided into smaller parts.

The tide of the battle has been decided at this point, and the Turks will not be able to turn over in any way. With the masters of the Turks such as Kezhida, Jieli, and Tuli being killed or captured in battle, the defeat of the Turks was imminent.

And with the defeat of the Turks, the unification of the state of Wu was not far off.

Nanwu may no longer be called Nanwu, but must be called Dawu.
